A Thirty-Something: Jesus Follower. Fire Wife. Mama to Ella.
I'm head-over-heels, crazy-in-love with my husband, our daughter, and our life. It's not always perfect (and I'm not afraid to let that show), but I love it just as it is.

Remember Me?

Hi.

Remember me? It's been awhile, I know. But you see, I had The Best Friend come visit for a weekend. And during that time, we had sooo much fun. We had a lovely lunch at the winery, had a girls night in, complete with bottle of wine, magazines, movies and girl talk. There was plenty of shopping to be done. And laying out by the pool. And since we were having so much fun, I didn't clean one square inch of this house while she was here. Which means that I spent several days cleaning it after she left.

But anyway, I'm back, and refreshed and re-energized from time spent with a wonderful friend.

I don't have much to update, aside from the fact that my super amazing husband (who worked something like 22 of 30 days in June...not to mention the handful of overtime shifts he's picked up in the first week of July already...) will be spending the next 10 days at home with our little family. Ohhh, you have no idea how joyful my heart is to say that! 10 whole days at home! No last minute calls in for overtime, turning a 24 hour shift into a 72 hour shift.

"A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers." ~Ruth Bell Graham

I came across this quote today and...could it be more true? Sure, there are plenty of other things that contribute to a happy marriage, but is marriage not the place where you learn how to truly forgive someone? I'm so grateful for a husband who is merciful and forgiving. Lord knows I'm not perfect, no matter how hard I try to be.

I may not be around much these next 10 days. You see, I kinda have a crush on my husband and would really, really like to spend every moment I can with him over the next 10 days. I'm totally being "that girl" who disappears on her friends, because her man is in town. But when you marry up (wayyyyy up!) like I did, you would totally do the same thing. Believe me.
